This work experimentally investigates a model-predictive motion planning strategy to impose
oscillatory and undulation movements in a macro fiber composite (MFC)-actuated robotic …

This article focuses on haptic localization of very lightweight and delicate objects while
applying a contact force> 5000 times lower than the weight of the object. A soft whisker …

This paper presents the trajectory tracking control of a multi-section continuum and
compliant manipulator with large workspace. Fluidic muscles are utilized as actuators in this …

This paper reports on the use of a soft probe as a haptic exploratory device with
Force/Moment (F/M) Readings at its base to determine the position of extremely lightweight …

Three-dimensional shape sensing in soft and continuum robotics is a crucial aspect for
stable actuation and control in fields such as minimally invasive surgery, engine repairs and …

In recent years, the applications of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors have witnessed
significant growth across multiple fields. However, challenges regarding angle estimation …

This letter introduces a novel Soft Acoustic Curvature (SAC) sensor. SAC incorporates
integrated audio components and features an acoustic channel within a flexible structure. A …

In this letter, a tendon-driven continuum robotic manipulator with three individual continuum
sections is developed and manufactured. The main contribution is that we propose a robust …
